"I can't say enough about what fun, beauty and comraderie I experienced. I did the eco tour, enjoyed it so much that I went on the Art tour the next day. I liked seeing Hollywood through the eyes of a local. We explored some out of the way places, like this wonderful designer shop where beautiful clothes are made from recycled shower curtains!!! Thank you so very much..."

"While visiting Hollywood to attend a family members wedding, a friend told me about the Hollywoodtrails bike tours. Although I didnt have much time, it really sparked my interest and I arranged to take their eco mangroves tour and thoroughly enjoyed it! Outside of the beautiful weather, my tour guide, was friendly, very professional and filled with interesting facts and history of Hollywood, its wildlife, marine-life, ecosystem and the nature conservatory. The conservatory is such an oasis with many great trails and beautiful views. The bike tour was invigorating and educational and gave me a great overall appreciation for what Hollywood has to offer. I look forward to signing up for Hollywoodtrails other bike tours when I am next in town."
